Throughout the ages of time, it's been clear as day that humanity needs females to survive. As people have both physically and mentally developed, women's lives have been revolutionized by changing the definition of what their place is in the world. Whether it's being a successful student, parent, friend, sibling, or even co-worker, it sometimes feels that the weight of the world is on our shoulders, so here's a little advice to the teenage girls out there who have no idea what's in store for them yet.

Initially, the average expectation people have for you is to go to school, get a job, get married, and raise a family in that order. It is perfectly fine if you don't go in order or even scratch out a step or two. People say college is not for everyone, and that is as true as it can be. Education does not solely depend on a school system. It also depends on you and what it is you wish to learn. If you want need the true college experience, go for it. If you want to take a bit of a breather before the next step in your plans, do what you need to do.

In terms of career, you probably have no idea what you want to do for a living. As high schoolers, the pressure is so built on graduating and moving forward, you either have some idea or no idea at all. If you wind up like me, decisive about what you see your future as, God bless you and good luck with whatever you do. If you have some iffy idea, know it is alright to be completely unsure. It is okay to change your mind a bunch of times, and it is perfectly acceptable to take the next steps having no clue. One day, you'll find out what you want, and figuring out each step of achieving your goals will fall right into place.

Maybe it is just me, but I have witnessed way more young girls being asked about relationships, marriage, and even having kids than I have with boys. Each person takes this particular step at their own pace. If you want to have the traditional family, then go find your future by all means. If you feel the opposite way, just remember to take the baby steps or grown-up steps at your own pace for this. Don't feel pressured to rush into connecting with someone emotionally. You're young, beautiful, and amazing. Meeting the right people happens at different times in every person's life, so no you are not a loser for being single.

Girls today seem to have so much more asked of them than ever before. I see this not as a gloomy weight on your shoulders, but rather a challenge you are definitely capable of. You may feel like you cannot do this, but you can. The advantage of being so young is all the newfound opportunities waiting. Just remember to take things day by day, and above all else, you must live to make yourself happy.
